What's free, and what needs a membership
You can try the site properly before paying anything. A paid membership is what lets you hold a conversation.
| Free account | Paid membership adds |
|---|---|
| Sign up and build a profile | Reading messages |
| Add photos (all photos are reviewed) | Replying to messages |
| Browse members | Read receipts |
| Receive interest | Seeing who viewed you, and likes |
| Ads are shown | Viewing photos in full |
Optional extras, such as profile boosts, priority messages, a 24-hour pass and the ID badge, are sold separately. None of them is needed to read and reply once you're a member. See membership prices for the current plans.
Is it legit?
Yes, in the sense that matters: it's a working dating site run by a registered company, with published member terms and a help centre. It has been online under the same name since 2020. Memberships are paid for in the members' area and nowhere else, and checkout shows the billing name that will appear on your statement, so make a note of it when you pay.
It's also worth knowing what it isn't. It isn't connected to other dating sites with similar names. It doesn't check what members write about themselves, and the member terms say plainly that profiles and conversations may not always be what they seem. Profiles are shared with partner sites, so not everyone you see joined here, or is looking for outdoor dating over 50.
Three habits that keep you safe on any dating site:
- Never send money, gift cards or cryptocurrency to someone you haven't met.
- Keep conversations on the site until you've met and feel sure.
- Meet somewhere public, in daylight, and travel yourself.

Is Fish for Silver Singles legit?
It's a working dating site run by a registered company, High Intent Media Inc, with published member terms and a help centre.

Is Fish for Silver Singles free?
Partly. Signing up, making a profile, browsing and receiving interest are free. Reading and replying to messages needs a paid membership, priced in US dollars. Every plan, trials included, renews automatically until you turn renewal off in Settings > Billing. The prices page shows the current plans.
Which countries can join?
The members' area accepts sign-ups from the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Portugal. The site is written mainly for readers in the UK, with a guide for readers in Ireland, and prices are shown in US dollars.
How do I cancel and delete my account?
Turn off renewal first: log in, go to Settings > Billing and switch it off. Then, if you want to leave for good, open your avatar and choose Settings > Delete Account. Turn off renewal before you delete, so nothing is charged after you've gone.
